Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $7,000 full-length mink coat!
A $14,000 sports car!
A $26,000 town car!
Over $105,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Joni Arburo: Mother of two, plays organ for her church
Carol LaFata: Homemaker and new mother
Ed Gagner: Biological oceanographer, from Falmouth, MA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Perfection! Joni solves GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT.
Jacked "earned his keep", and maybe a little more with a Wheel prize. Try for a Yamaha Riva scooter (labeled SCOOTER) worth $860.
Ed solves I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU.
DING DING! DING DING!
Long prize copy and some lost turns will eat up time. Now Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $350 a piece.
Ed: O (DUD!)
Joni: P ($350)
Joni solves SPEED CHECKED BY RADAR to protect her win.
